Variants

Previous rumors had stated that the Galaxy S7 will come in two variants, the standard S7 and the S7 Edge. However, the latest leaks show that there will likely be three models: the two mentioned above along with the S7 Edge+. The standard version is expected to have a flat 5.2-inch screen, while the S7 Edge is rumored to have the same size but with a curved screen. The S7 Edge+ is said to have a curved 5.5-inch screen.

Exciting features

If the rumors are to be believed, the Galaxy S7 wouldn’t be “just another smartphone”. For one thing, it’s said to have an expandable memory, which isn’t present in the popular Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. The S7 is said to accommodate a microSD of up to 200GB capacity, making it great for those who want to keep lots of pictures, videos, songs, and movies.

The new smartphone is also expected to have a powerful battery, with a 3000mAh battery for the standard S7 and a 3600mAh one for the S7 Edge. The two (or three) variants reportedly have the IP67 certification, which means they’re water-resistant up to one meter of water. This is great news for those who have the tendency to forget their smartphones in their jeans and end up submerging them in water in the washing machine.

With these rumored features in mind, it’s easy to see that the Galaxy S7 will be an exciting addition to Samsung’s line of smartphones. Fortunately, you can get your hands on it soon since it’s set to be launched during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on late February and might be available in stores by March.

Let’s see what 2016 has in store for us.

Apple iPhone 7

Boasting an 12-MP iSight camera, an A10 processor and integrated M10 co-processor, the iPhone just keeps on getting better each year. This new version is sporting a lot of amazing upgrades and new features that it is leaving its competitors far behind.

Rumors has it that it will include a glasses-free 3D display with integrated Touch ID, a reversible USB charger, a sidewall  screen, and a revamped waterproof technology capable of pumping water out through the phone’s speaker grills.

Samsung Galaxy S7

While iPhone may have all the rave, the Galaxy S7 is not to be left behind. It is in fact one of the highly anticipated smartphones of 2016, packing dozens of next-generation specs.

It is said to come with a 4GB RAM and will be equipped with either the Exynos 8890 processor or the Qualcomm Snapdragon S6 Edge. It will also come with an upgraded camera as well as a new sensor technology called Britcell, which is capable of collecting light to make photos look stunning.

Google Nexus 6

Looks like someone’s gonna rile up the competition next year.  The Nexus 6, which will once again be made Huawei, will be the launch vehicle for the new Android N. That’s not all, this large-screen phablet will support USB-C for data transfer and charging. It will also feature the powerful and energy-efficient Snapdragon 820 chip and support the Qualcoom Quick Charge 3.0.

LG G5

LG’s next flagship is a little bit mysterious. We know so very little about it, but rumors have it that the company is going to bring an iris scanner to the G5. Now, were talking about ultimate security!

We also learned that the G5 is going to have a larger-capacity battery, which is capable of being charged wirelessly, and loads of other features.
